What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.

Sew nose between the cheeks. Sew ears on each side of the head. Sew flowers over left ear.
Sew arms on each side of the body. Sew them on the neckline.
Sew legs on each side of the body following the videotutorial on YT.
